To be honest, I see this in the same way like Adrian and Vito. MF-W has even posted Wikidata's current OS stats on the project chat, which clearly indicates no need for oversighters at Wikidata for now, in my opinion. That's also the reason why I didn't support the requests for oversight permissions. It is clearly not like there are many requests which cannot be handled by stewards on time, anymore. Honestly, I'm also a bit disappointed because we are focussing so much on, in my opinion, pointless right discussions. Currently, the most common task is to suppress revealed admin IP addresses. There's an easy solution: check whether you are logged in and read the messages which are showing up if you try to edit a page being logged out. The target of Wikidata is still to develop a free knowledge base.
